Courageous Joy

WEDNESDAY

1. We assembled our lap books.

2. I baked apple pies while the children worked on this.

3. I went out to lunch with Debbie...I love this monthly treat. She is so good to remember when it is "time". She'll say "it's about time"...and she is always SO right!

4. When I got back from lunch, Arielle and I baked Chocolate Pecan Pies and Chocolate Chip Cookies.

5. Adrienne dropped by to drop of Coconut oil and talk produce.

6. We rushed to the chapel for an ecumenical Thanksgiving service/pie social.

7. I left my purse at home...Jamin ran around the block, retrieved it, and was in the front yard by the time I drove around the block.

8. Zander thought it was a fate worse than death to have to go to chapel....he INSISTED that "God is not THERE"...but did well through service.

9. Stacia did not do well; we ended up in the cry room anyway. LOL

10. Pie Social was amazing....way TOO MUCH PIE! I have no idea how we'll get rid of all our pies.

11. Operation Warmheart gave us a box because Mike is gone. I appreciated the thought.....the kids are wondering, however, why they would think our income went down when Mike deployed. I think it was the THOUGHT and explained that to them. It is nice to see base support in a tangible way.

12. Came home and picked up some things while Jamin made ice cream.

13. Going to bed....

HAPPY THANKSGIVING HON, WE WISH YOU WERE HERE. YOU REMAIN ONE OF THE BIGGEST BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE. WE'RE MISSING YOU AND GIRLS WE'RE MISSING YOU TOO!
